Organic Farming in Nepal

Soil of organic farms has been found with more biological diversity and microbial activity than the conventional farming system. Majorly organic farming has enhanced the biological soil quality indicators: Microbial biomass carbon (MBC), Microbial biomass nitrogen (MBN), enzymatic activities and soil microbiological diversity. In most cases, increase of microbial biomass was greater than 50%. Likewise, environmental benefits of organic farming are more compare to conventional farm with natural ecological harmony. Although there still lacks a huge realm to be explored in the field of organic farming especially in the developing countries including Nepal. Legal framework with scientific Research relating to organic farming necessarily needs to be explored more in order to the ground development of organic farming in Nepal.
